You know Ye spits that “Crack Music” — Miracle Whip is a popular mayonnaise substitute, while whip is a slang term for a nice car. If left outside of a refrigerator, Kanye’s Mercedes might go a slight yellowish oil color…

Kanye was asked to identify when he started formulating ideas for The College Dropout. His response:

I guess well… when I said that rap “Mayonnaise colored Benz, I push Miracle Whips” for Jay I was about 21 years old. So you could say then. The last line you hear on College Dropout is the oldest line, so I call that the beginning.†

The outro also confirms this line was rapped for Jay before The Dynasty (2000) — meaning it has nothing to do with Kanye miraculously surviving his infamous 2002 car accident that inspired “Through the Wire”.
